☆ Russia's fake tanks in Ukraine aren't always convincing, a struggle another army faced trying to trick NATO jets decades ago

Yugoslav forces in the Kosovo War faced similar struggles trying different tricks to fool NATO jets. The drone's operator seemed to notice the tanks were not real, zooming in on the puffy tanks in the video. AdvertisementAdvertisementNATO air forces prioritized an aerial bombing campaign called "Operation Allied Force" against Yugoslav troops, which lasted over two months. Outgunned by superior NATO airpower, Yugoslav forces took extra steps to try to make their fakes convincing. Even trays of water, also heated by sunlight, were placed inside the fake tanks to give the impression the tank was crewed, running, and operational.

Men like Miguel, who in July traveled to Russia and soon after was on the front lines of the war with Ukraine, his mother Cecilia told CNN. After her son responded to a post on Facebook looking for Cubans to work as cooks and construction workers in Russia, Cecilia said two women reached out to him via WhatsApp. But soon Miguel told his mother that he wanted to return home. Since the war began Cuban officials had increasingly echoed Russian propaganda that NATO aggression was to blame for its invasion of Ukraine. When apprised by CNN of the conflicting statements by Cuban officials, Cecilia responded with a question.

Every company has to start somewhere, and for Uline, that beginning was 1980 in the Illinois basement of Dick and Liz Uihlein. Dick Uihlein started Uline to sell a product called a carton sizer, "one of the neatest little tools I'd ever seen." Bit by bit, the Uihleins added more packing supplies to their selection and slashed delivery times to the minimum — a decade before Jeff Bezos launched Amazon. "It's weird to develop a love of corrugated boxes and shipping supplies, but I really enjoy it," Liz told the Milwaukee BizTimes in 2020. The Uihlein family as featured on the Uline website.

A homeowner captured a real-estate agent drinking milk out of a carton from her fridge during a showing. According to the homeowner, the surveillance footage also showed Rose lounging on her couch and accidentally breaking its arm, the newspaper reported. "This was unprofessional in so many ways," Fullerton told The Post. The newspaper reported that Fullerton said Rose replied, "The milk?" Soon after, Fullerton reported the agent, explaining to The Post that it wasn't so much about the milk, but more that the agent had failed to disclose his actions to her.

When a bagel with cream cheese doubles in cost the taste is tainted. So, 'getting there, going in the right direction' is the language we will hear about the state of inflation Wednesday morning. But it's not just about the cost of a block of cream cheese. Whether it's a block of cream cheese going for $150 or a Toll Brothers (TOL) home selling for $1 million, with multiple bidders, we are all bewildered. The longer a block of cream cheese stays at $150, the more ingrained it gets.

July 5 (Reuters) - Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drugs, an online pharmacy launched by the billionaire to sell drugs directly to customers at low prices, should soon begin selling Coherus BioSciences's (CHRS.O) biosimilar version of AbbVie Inc's (ABBV.N) blockbuster rheumatoid arthritis drug Humira, Cuban said on Wednesday. Cost Plus Drugs will sell Yusimry for $569.27 plus dispensing and shipping fees. Coherus introduced its Humira biosimilar in the U.S. market this month alongside offerings from other drugmakers such as Boehringer Ingelheim, Sandoz and Organon (OGN.N). Cuban's Cost Plus Drugs aims to drive down the cost of drugs broadly by selling them at a 15% markup over its cost, plus pharmacy fees. Cuban said the company hopes to provide other biosimilar drugs as well.

July 3 (Reuters) - Coherus BioSciences (CHRS.O) said on Monday it has launched a copycat version of AbbVie's (ABBV.N) Humira in the United States at a discount of more than 85% to the blockbuster arthritis drug. Coherus is the latest to launch a biosimilar to Humira in the U.S. market this month after Boehringer Ingelheim, Sandoz and Organon (OGN.N). Coherus said last month it would sell the biosimilar, branded as Yusimry, at $995 per carton, compared with the current list price of Humira of $6,922 per carton. The company has also partnered with billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban's pharmaceutical startup to sell the biosimilar at $569.27 plus dispensing and shipping fees. Usually prices fall, often dramatically, when multiple copycat versions of a widely-used medication enter the market.

But when we started digging into the big ag lobby, we discovered it’s basically — “The most powerful lobby on Capitol Hill. So the big ag lobby has one key aim — block environmental regulation.

☆ Egg prices are crashing. Here’s why
▼ + stars: | 2023-05-15 | by ( Danielle Wiener-Bronner | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +5 min

One reason: Shoppers responded to high egg prices by buying less. When prices were shooting up, “everybody and their brother had a story about what egg prices were doing,” said Amy Smith, vice president at Advanced Economic Solutions, a consulting firm. Retail egg prices have been declining at a more moderate clip. (On an annual basis, prices are still high: In the year through April, egg prices were 21.4% higher.) That’s because supermarkets and grocery stores set retail egg prices, and they don’t want customers to be scared away by wild swings.

While many of the problems that helped trigger the upward spiral have abated, prices are still high and getting higher. The idea that companies are taking advantage of disruptions to push price increases on consumers has many names — greedflation, excuseflation, price gouging, corporate profiteering — but the gist is the same. Supply-chain issues and other disruptions made sense as drivers of higher prices, Chris Becker, a senior economist and the associate director of policy and research at the Groundwork Collaborative, told me. "Working people are suffering thanks to corporate greed, so we need to enact tougher rules to ensure corporations pay a price when they price gouge."

Because of the versatility and hands-off aspect of the preparation, these are some of my favorite breakfast options for road trip vacations and camping adventures — but they work for busy at-home mornings, too. Overnight oats are one of the most versatile breakfast options out there — and can easily be taken on the road or enjoyed at home. NelliSyr/iStockphoto/Getty ImagesTartines, AKA open-faced sandwiches — or as I like to call them, “things on toast” — comprise a catchall category of breakfast options that can skew savory or sweet.

Almond milk and other plant-based drinks can be labeled "milk," the Food and Drug Administration said. But if they do, they should explain the nutritional differences between their plant-based milk and cow's milk, the FDA said. It also recommends that plant-based milk makers include a statement on their label clarifying the differences between their product and cow's milk. "We applaud FDA's recognition that consumers understand the difference between plant-based milk and cow's milk and that shoppers choose to purchase plant-based milk specifically because it is not cow's milk," Madeline Cohen, senior regulatory attorney at the Good Food Institute, which advocates for plant-based brands, said in a statement. The National Milk Producers Federation, which represents the US animal milk industry, said the proposed guidance would allow plant-based companies "to continue inappropriately using dairy terminology."
